LyX chapter lister

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

The script under my sig is a filter that takes a LyX file from stdin and spits
out the chapters. Right now it doesn't do parts, but it probably will later
on. Perhaps some day it will handle the whole hierchy of
Part/chapter/section/subsection/subsubsection/paragraph/subparagraph.

### SLURP STDIN
lines = []
while line = gets
lines.push(line.chomp)
end

#### FIND CHAPTER NAMES
temp_lineno = -9999
chapno = 0
chapname = ""
in_chapter = false
lines.each do |line|
if line =~ /^\s*\\layout Chapter/
in_chapter = true
chapname = ""
chapno += 1
# puts "dia startchapter " + line + in_chapter.to_s
elsif in_chapter and line =~ /^\s*\\layout/
printf("%2d: %s\n", chapno, chapname) if chapno > 0
#puts "dia endchapter " + line
in_chapter = false
elsif in_chapter
chapname += (" " + line) unless line =~ /^\s*\\/ or line =~ /^\s*$/
end
end
printf("%2d: %s\n", chapno, chapname) if chapname and chapname != ""

Thanks, I was looking for something like that.
